NW425 Mastering Scent Puzzles

Nose work is a series of puzzles our dogs must navigate and work to locate source. The more puzzles and setups that our dogs can be exposed to and learn to work efficiently, the more prepared they will be for real world and competition searching. Dogs pull from memory and use that information when working each search.

NW475 Challenges to Enhance Problem Solving

Nosework isn't REALLY all about the nose... it's about the dog using all of their senses and problem solving the location of the hidden source material. When we train, it's so important to support the development of that decision making process. Every time you set a hide, you shape the dog's searching behaviors. By setting hides that help your dog to THINK, you create an engaged, efficient dog.

Our testimonials

Don't just take our word for it — see what our clients say about their experience working with us.

I wasn't sure if an online format would really be "helpful enough" to learn something new, but I was very pleasantly surprised! Seeing the videos of the Gold level participants and reading the instructor feedback was VERY helpful! I had fun and learned several new things. I highly recommend these online classes!

I've taken a number of classes by a number of instructors at FDSA. I appreciate how well they overlap, and that the message is often the same despite who's teaching.The FDSA online site is so great! Not complicated; it has been easy to use. I am really impressed with Denise's mission to bring into her Academy absolutely top-notch instructors! Plus, I really love the 3-tier options for her students! With these options, the online courses are affordable for everyone that is interested in improving their dog training skills and building the best relationship with their dog(s) -- whether they do, or plan on doing dog performance sports, or just want to spend time with their dog and have a well-trained dog ... a dog that is a wonderful representative to the community at-large....all achieved with positive training methods! The depth of knowledge that i am getting from the classes I am taking is invaluable. It has opened a door to training and overall learning for me that I wouldn't be able to get elsewhere. I am in a power wheelchair and finding transportation to classes is often difficult for me. These online classes have given me the guidance I've needed to stay focused and motivated to work with my dog.

Feedback was always timely, helpful, and supportive, and I was very happy with the format of this class. I can't wait to enroll in more. I just wish there were more hours in the day to train.
